  1. Lower Motor Neuron signs (by clinical, electrophysiological, or neuropathological examination) in 1 or more of 4 regions (bulbar, cervical, thoracic, and lumbosacral). Signs of lower motor neuron degeneration include:  weakness, muscle atrophy and fasciculations. 

  2. Upper Motor Neuron signs (by clinical examination) in 1 or more of the 4 regions.  Signs of upper motor neuron degeneration included:  slowed movements, increased muscle tone or spasticity, spastic gait. 

  3. Progression of signs within a region or to other regions

Definite ALS = Upper Motor Neuron + Lower Motor Neuron signs in 3 regions

Probable ALS = Upper Motor Neuron + Lower Motor Neuron signs in 2 regions with Upper Motor Neuron signs rostral to Lower Motor Neuron signs

Probable ALS, lab supported = Upper Motor Neuron + Lower Motor neuron signs in 1 region with evidence by EMG of lower motor neuron involvement in another region. 

Possible ALS = Upper Motor Neuron + Lower Motor Neuron signs in 1 region or Upper Motor Neuron signs in 2 or 3 regions, such as monomelic ALS, progressive bulbar palsy, and primary lateral sclerosis
